Application fees are non- refundable.

A concealed weapon permit is a State issued permit. Those permits issued by the LVMPD are valid throughout the State of Nevada. However, other States determine individually whether or not they accept a concealed weapons permit issued from any other States. Therefore, you must contact the particular State where you are interested in carrying your concealed weapon, to inquire about the acceptance of a Nevada concealed weapons permit.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety and Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association determines which State permits are acceptable to carry concealed weapons in the State of Nevada.

Effective 10/1/2012, you may carry any handgun in a concealed manner when you have a valid, unexpired concealed weapons permit.

Your permit does not need to be updated, even if your card indicates “Semi-Automatic Only” or “Revolver Only.” All active concealed weapon permit holders are eligible to carry any handgun with their existing permit.

As outlined in NRS 202.367, a permittee shall notify the sheriff who issued his or her permit in writing within 30 days if the permittee’s permanent address changes. A permittee who fails to notify the sheriff pursuant to the provisions of this section is subject to a civil penalty of $25.
